Criteria:
I thought each of these were great satires because all made a different point about education through humor. The first is obviously mocking how a diploma doesn't get you very far in this economy. The video is a commercial satire making fun of those who are demanding a reform of education, saying kids should take more standardized tests and that teachers are ineffective. It makes great points about how those outside the education system shouldn't be the ones defining how education should work, and I thought the genre they used was very effective. The third was an article on how a science teacher "prides" himself in taking the fun out of science class and makes it as boring as possible. The article really pointed out the bad things a teacher should never do.
